Sacrashe Vineyard



One of Rutherford’s distinctive characteristics is that it has a higher radiant value than many other par ts of Napa Valley, meaning that it spends more time in the sun. Located at the widest point between the Mayacamas and Vaca mountain ranges, the Rutherford AVA encompasses approximately six square miles. The cyclical fluctuation between warm days and cool evenings allows Rutherford fruit to ripen at a steady pace.

Craig and Kathryn Hall purchased Sacrashe, their first Napa Valley vineyard, in 1995. Intrigued by Rutherford terroir and the locale’s pedigree, the Halls fell in love with Sacrashe’s serenity and sweeping vistas. They built their Napa Valley home at the summit of the rolling vineyard and constructed the HALL Rutherford Winery at the northwestern edge of the parcel.

Ensconced by hundred-year-old Oaks, Manzanita, and Pines, the Sacrashe vineyard is composed of distinctive volcanic ash soils (tuff). An undulating topography creates numerous micro-climates and slope grades. The Rutherford hilltop terroir creates difficult growing conditions and limits the vigor and yield of each vine to not more than three tons per acre. HALL’s small-vine farming practices further limit the yield such that each vine produces less than four pounds of fruit each year.
Rutherford berries are small and concentrated with intense flavors and tannin. The wines are exceptionally rich, expansive and massively structured. The concentrated fruit maintains a focused clarity and the fine-grained tannin creates a balanced frame.

Discover the Sacrashe Vineyard by visiting our HALL Rutherford Winery. Tours are available by appointment.
